What's harder Stone tower - MM or Water Temple - OOT?

MyTeamLevel100 · 10:23 AM

The hardest temple in Majoras Mask is the stone tower temple and the hardest temple from Ocarina Of Time is the water temple. Both temples are very confusing and seem to never end. (By being so hard though they are temples that you wont forget, both very cool.) Anyway back to topic i think the stone tower temple is harder. I think this because it is a massive temple and you have to do it in a time limit. It tests link as a Goron, Zora, Deku Scrub and as a Hyrulean. Also if you are collecting the stray fairies they are hidden very well. I got to the boss door once which i thought was hard to find and realised i have missed 3 stray fairies so i had to flip the temple back round and check every room it was hell. Anyway what do you think was harder and why?

Well yeah, first run through of both said temples can be a bit confusing. I really can't choose though. Both were equally hard and required patience (first time around). The Stone Tower Temple became my favorite in all Zelda temples simply because I just love that music.

Stone tower definately is the harder of the two, although, I also like it better than I do the water temple, that one just made me angry and frustrated, stone tower did to, but in a good way (what?)

Cronyne

Stone Tower. Very. It was a pain just to get into it. And it's huge. Not counting when you flip it over, it's twice as huge. And if you forget a treasure chest, you gotta flip the whole thing back over.

sage_of_fire

i know, and collecting the faries, ah man, that got annoying.

Cronyne

I hated being so far in, then not having enough Magic, having to exit, get Magic, then make my way alllll the way back.

But it's still a good level. I wouldn't change it for the world. You can fall into the sky,

Someone name me a game that does that. There is none.

Depends. If you want to beat MM 100% then Stone Tower might be harder, otherwise Water Temple is 'harder'. I really don't find the Water Temple hard, it's just the keys are well hidden; cause the boss is in no way difficult unless your bad @ timing... which means ur prolly not that good @ Zelda.

arggh! Stone Tower, it took me forever just because I missed the final
passage to the right, I couldn't see it while I was floating on the flowers,
so i couldn't get to the upside down statue thingies

Water Temple wasn't hard, just a tedious process of elimination
the vortexes were tricky though

Morpha (i think thats right) is kinda easy, at least compared to stone towers two giant worms (twinmold i think) every time i fight those things, i only win with like half a heart left (except last time, gilded blade made it A LOT easier.)

Hey I'm not sure about Stone Tower being the toughest from MM. The Great Bay Temple was seriously hard too, I'd say even harder than Stone Tower

NintendoTogepi

I haven't played MM, but the Water Temple was really easy, so I'm gonna say Stone Tower Temple was harder.

Cronyne

Well I guess both of them weren't extremely hard. Just long. The difficulty came in finding where to go. Stone Tower had the big difference of being twice as huge as it really was, and the moon closing in from below you.

Stone Tower is definitely more difficult than the Water Temple. All the flipping, fairy collecting, and time limit made it very challenging the first time I played it, compared to the Water Temple.

The Water Temple wasn't so much difficult as annoying, particularly with the lowering and raising of the water level. I always forget to raise the water level in the central tower to swim under the block that's raised.

Yea but when you haven't played it a million times, you have no direction on where to go. You have to lower and raise the level several times and backtrack through hallways you've already been through

The Stone Tower Temple was fun, and very difficult. The water temple is a kitten meowing for help in comparison

Ralphie

As said , the water themple is just annoying. But still hard the first time so I would say....Stone Tower!

sage_of_fire

I only really have trouble with two parts in the water temple, the key before shadow link, and shadow link himself.

Listen to this man.

Stone Tower really wasn't hard at all. The only time I ever had any problems on it was one night when I was really tired and counldn't figure out how to push a box. -_-

TheCheese00

Definitely the Stone temple. First time I did that I was like

It made we wish I back back at the Water temple.

Mr Fahrenheit

The Stone Temple, for sure. You always have to play that song that duplicates you, and you can't skip through the animation. Plus, when you think your almost done with the temple, you get the light arrows and then you have to flip everything upside-down and basically start over.

sage_of_fire

lol, i just read this on someones blog "The first time I played through the stone tower on Majoras mask, I was found the next day hiding in the fetal position under my bed saying "I'm not out of magic, I'm not out of magic, I'm not out of magic..."" I found this quite hilarious

MDS13

I was able to beat the Water temple pretty quickly,but the Stone Tower was much tougher,even with a guide.

I found great bay temple easy compared to stone temple. Just start from the bottom and work your way up.

sage_of_fire

I got stuck on great bay the first time I played through it, but everytime since its been a peice of cake, and i didnt memorize it or anything like that, its just that i was pretty young when i first went through it.
